Our Campaign Story

ends 20 May 2018, 11:59 PM

When I joined canoeing in Secondary 1, I first heard of the term "muscular dystrophy". I watched my seniors organize the event. I was in awe of the fact my super seniors could paddle for 24 hours.

Two years later, I watched my seniors organize another edition of the event. This time, I not only watched, I learnt. I was not in awe of their endurance. I was in awe of their effort and their passion in serving the community of muscular dystrophy patients. I was amazed by the impact they made, raising more than $32,000 for MDAS. I wanted to someday help muscular dystrophy patients as much as they did.

This year, I am in JC1. I was given the opportunity to be part of the main committee for organizing the 6th edition of the project. Throughout which, I have gained a comprehensive view and understanding of the life of a muscular dystrophy patient. I had the privilege of speaking to two admirable gentlemen, Andrew and Gareth. Despite being affected by muscular dystrophy, both of them show strength and verve in the face of adversity to continually grow and learn in their capacities. Andrew strives to design aesthetic greeting cards to spread joy to others, and Gareth hopes to represent Singapore in Boccia. I am inspired by their bravery in chasing their dreams.

Everyone should have a chance to chase their dreams, no matter what condition they are born with. Our project aims to empower them to do so, by funding their programmes.

Join us in helping this group of young champions.

About Campaign

It began with a mission: That those with muscular dystrophy (MD) should be able to enjoy the benefits of sports like we do. This is where we, the Hwa Chong Canoeing Team, come in. Our fundraising event, the 24 Hour Static Kayaking Challenge, was organised in 2011 to bring sports closer to those with MD through the sports subsidy scheme offered by Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore) (http://www.mdas.org.sg/home/), the one charity in Singapore centred on persons with MD.

MDAS provides programmes, services and subsidies to maximise the quality of life of its beneficiaries. One way to improve the quality of life of its beneficiaries is to promote the importance of sports; its beneficiaries enjoy weekly sports sessions, subsidised heavily by MDAS. This year, the 24 Hour Static Kayaking Challenge is back for its 6th edition. It will be held on the 19-20th May at the Star Vista, and we need your help to make our efforts go further!
